     A generic file class representing a file with a specified format.
-    Provides both async and sync interfaces for file operations.
-    Users must handle all I/O operations themselves by instantiating this class with the appropriate class methods.
+    Provides both async and sync interfaces for file operations. All methods without _sync suffix are async.
+
+    The class should be instantiated using one of the class methods. The constructor should be used only to
+    instantiate references to existing remote objects.
 
     The generic type T represents the format of the file.
 
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        # Async usage
-        from pandas import DataFrame
-        csv_file = File[DataFrame](path="s3://my-bucket/data.csv")
+    Important methods:
+    - `from_existing_remote`: Create a File object from an existing remote file.
+    - `new_remote`: Create a new File reference for a remote file that will be written to.
 
-        async with csv_file.open() as f:
-            content = await f.read()
+    **Asynchronous methods**:
+    - `open`: Asynchronously open the file and return a file-like object.
+    - `download`: Asynchronously download the file to a local path.
+    - `from_local`: Asynchronously create a File object from a local file, uploading it to remote storage.
+    - `exists`: Asynchronously check if the file exists.
 
-        # Sync alternative
-        with csv_file.open_sync() as f:
-            content = f.read()
-        ```
+    **Synchronous methods** (suffixed with `_sync`):
+    - `open_sync`: Synchronously open the file and return a file-like object.
+    - `download_sync`: Synchronously download the file to a local path.
+    - `from_local_sync`: Synchronously create a File object from a local file, uploading it to remote storage.
+    - `exists_sync`: Synchronously check if the file exists.
